Blues levelled 12 minutes from time. Idris El Mizouni was tripped as he surged into the penalty area, allowing Lankester to step up and score from the spot.

Town almost completed the turnaround in the dying stages. Lankester cut the ball back to substitute Prince Ogunmekan but his shot from six yards was saved brilliantly by the visiting ‘keeper Sam Jackson.

Dobra then tried his luck from 25 yards after a fantastic run, but saw his audacious attempt strike the bar in what turned out to be the last kick of the game.
